About Skin Friend

Skin Friend was created for people with dry, itchy and sensitive skin. 

Developed by nutritionist and author Karen Fischer, Skin Friend was born out of a desperate need to find supplements that were free of potentially itch-promoting chemicals including salicylates, histamine, gluten, dairy, caffeine, colours, flavours and preservatives, to name a few.  

Our products reflect our values:   

More good stuff, with quality ingredients and no GMOs. And less packaging and waste.

Our founder Karen Fischer is a nutritionist, mother of two and an award-winning author whose personal family journey with skin problems is the reason Skin Friend exists.

Karen is a qualified and certified nutritionist with a Bachelor of Health Science Degree and is currently completing a Master of Science by Research. She is a member of the International Institute of Complementary Therapies (IICT member number AU1908145909). 

Karen loves nutritional biochemistry and her passion for helping people with skin disorders began twenty years ago when her baby developed eczema.

 

“As an adult I suffered with itchy head-to-toe eczema, and psoriasis on my elbows and hands. So I understand how important it is to use pure, gentle and soothing skincare and supplements. I no longer have skin problems (not even a tiny spot!) and I am so thankful I get to help others.” KF

Karen's books include The Eczema Detox, The Eczema Diet, The Healthy Skin Kitchen, and The Healthy Skin Diet (Winner 'Best Health, Nutrition or Specific Diet Book' at the 2008 Australian Food Media Awards). 

Karen is also an avid photographer who takes our 'dark and stormy' food photos and staff pics.
